Okay, SO after endless days of this illuminating… nah, needless and paedomorphic debate*
LET’S PLEASE agree,
1st - ANY CHANGES to the original films - BE IT color correction, gamma correction or whatever - VOIDS it from being called the ORIGINAL TRILOGY as they are NO longer the “Original UNALTERED Version” - SO - Only straight untouched Laserdisc and VHS transfers can be considered a part of the “ORIGINAL TRILOGY PRESERVATION” - PERIOD
2nd - ANY CHANGES made to the films (again… color correction, aspect ratio change, cut and paste, new effects or ANY CHANGE) is considered an ALTERATION ~ AND will now be called EDITS - So to reiterate, IF you add, correct or alter in ANY way the ORIGINAL laserdisc/VHS transfer it is NOT the Original Trilogy… But YOUR Edit (just like MagnoliaFan and the Phantom Editor) PERIOD
- SO let’s PLEASE move beyond ANY changes made by Lucas, MagnoliaFan, MeBeJedi, Mverta or any other aspiring editors in THEIR collective endeavors.
END of story.
